Burnley's predicted final finish and points tally after Tottenham heartbreak
Burnley came so close to a long-overdue Premier League win at the weekend.
With only a few minutes remaining, Scott Parker’s side led Tottenham 2-1 – only to be pegged back by Christian Romero’s header at the death.
It means the Clarets are now winless in the league since October 26, a run that stretches back 14 games.
Not only that, the gap to safety has now increased to 10 points with results elsewhere not going their way.
Nottingham Forest beat Brentford away from home, while West Ham continued their revival with a 3-1 home win against Sunderland.
Leeds United played out a 1-1 draw at Everton on Monday night, while bottom side Wolves were beaten 2-0 by Manchester City.
